porage, how do you eat yours?

One tea cup of porridge mixed with one cup of milk and one water.
Add pinch of salt and sprnkle of black pepper. Stir. Bring to bubbling, stir occasionally and simmer.
Add tablespoon of manuka honey to serve. mmmmmmm.
This takes exactly the same time as it does to boil the kettle.

This with sometimes a banana. Kids like Nutella, jam, syrup,honey and blueberries as well.

1 measure of oats to 4 measures of water simmer gently until all the water is absorbed pour over freshly picked raspberrys from the garden and drizzle with a little honey. That is what I this morning, should be good for my high cholesterol count!

Combine oats with with buckwheat, barley or rye. Pour over warmish water and add in a few spoonfuls of Kefir whey. Give it all a good stir. Cover and leave to ferment at room temp for at least 12 hours – the longer the better.

Once the mixture is looking and smelling suitably lively tip the lot into a pan and bring it up to a simmer. Add in any combination of cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/allspice with a pinch of sea salt, a good grinding of black pepper and a hearty lump of butter. Stir for around at least 15 mins or until the desired consistency/boredom threshold is reached. Sometimes raisins and/or finely chopped apple is stirred in a few minutes before finishing.

Pour the concoction into a bowl and leave it to cool. Place into the fridge. When you’re ready to eat remove from the fridge and pour over some milk. Chopped banana also works very well on top once it has come out of the fridge.

It’s a bit of an extravagance but I get protein porridge powder that you just dump two scoops and 200ml of hot water…. Lush stuff and super quick as I normally eat it standing up whilst getting ready for da ride to work…

Oats, a wholemeal weetabix, banana, ginger, walnuts, 2 figs, semi-skimmed milk all in the liquidiser. Then blast that down with a strong black cup of Guatemalan coffee. That can see me through till the evening.
